More Roll Up the Rim piggies

Roll up the Rim winners and losers have one thing in common. They're happy to let someone else clean up after themselves.

Serious dick move

The roll up the rim to win contest likely increases the amount of Tim Turds on our streets. Thanks, Tim Hortons for not finding a more environmentally friendly promotion. Worse, you get serious douche bag Tim Hortons customers who do things like this:

Yes, this douche bag actually took the time to rip off his rim, retain that, but not retain the cup long enough to toss in a trash can.

Now maybe Tim Hortons customers need all their fingers free to do complex math (e.g., counting to 10) and tossing a Tims turd is the only way they can free up their fingers for dealing with life's complexities. But can't you just scrunch up a wrapper or donut bag and put it in a pocket or something?

John Filion responds

I feel the councilor's response was fair and realistic. It is probably best dealt with at a provincial level. As well, a Ford administration is probably not friendly to any new fees, unless they emerge from his office.

Under the current administration at City Hall, the concept of any type of additional fee would not be positively considered, even if we had the authority to levy one - something I'm not sure of. The Mayor is talking out loud about eliminating the plastic bag fee despite the fact the plastic bag usage is down by approximately 2/3.


Each year I lead a group of residents in a community clean up. Of course, litter quickly reappears, but it is at least a gesture in the right direction. The best solution that I have, although I don't have the office capacity to take it on right now is to introduce a local voluntary system through which local merchants sign on to make arrangements to clean up the mess in front of their businesses or litter that gets distributed throughout the neighbourhood from their businesses such as Starbucks and Tim Hortons. Part of the payback would be that these businesses would be recognized in some way so that residents such as yourself would be more likely to frequent them.


I will be meeting with representatives of all of the condos and home owners group at sometime in the near future and will run this notion by them to determine their interest.

A lovely bunch of Tim Turds

I'm not sure what it is about Tim Hortons piggies but they seem to have this idea any man-made vertical structure is close enough to a trash can and shit their Tim turds like dogs next to a tree. I'll point out, the person charged with making the drop off of a newspaper is not your personal butler. It's not his/her job to clean what you, Tim Hortons piggy, should be doing yourself. Have much pride in your city? Nope.
